It's cute, but I could have done without the random child.

This just felt...off. The whole volume feels like little snippets of at least 3 different volumes pasted into one; I had to stop reading at one point and double check that this was the first book and I wasn't missing something. The characters are vastly underdeveloped and have no personality outside of liking to skip classes. Also, I found it incredibly weird that part of the plot (which is already very skimpy) is that a teenage girl is jealous of a literal child (a 9/10 year old?) and is, in her mind, "competing" against the kid for her love interests attention.
Very meh all around so not a series I'm going to keep reading.

The beginning was a bit boring tbh and kinda... awkward. Like, the pace was off. But it got better in the 2nd half.
Just like the art. What was rather messy at first, turned more clean at the end. Especially chapter 5.5 was quite the progress.
I’m pretty taken aback by how easy it is to skip class/school in Japan, apparently. Aren’t the teachers worried or will tell their parents? I mean, the way how chill Shimamura’s friends already reacted... as if school was just a hobby or something. 🤔
It’s nice how Adachi could accept her crush on Shimamura, but she does need to get a grip on herself... and Shimamura needs to be less oblivious. 😭
But I could relate to Adachi’s desire, wanting to be special to Shimamura, a lot, and her platonic jealousy. (Which for her turned into romantic jealousy.)
Overall cute tho, albeit a bit boring. It’s like the author isn’t sure how to spin a story around them, only knows they want these girls to be together.
But I’ll continue reading, mostly cause I like delinquent and introverted characters. And I want to know why Adachi is so anti-social.

It’s raining outside, the power is off, and I’m surrounded by gay manga. Let’s gooooo!
This intro was very sweet, although I’m not sure where the story is going with the random alien plotline thrown in near the end? But otherwise, it really captures the insecurities and excitement of a new crush. Cute

This didn’t super impress me. It wasn’t bad, it was really quite bland. I’ve read maybe 5 wlw manga series set in school and they all had more character work in them so I think that’s why they grabbed me more. The girl pining for her best friend isn’t a new concept by any means, but there’s just not a ton of development here personality wise.
Adachi is a slacker - which isn’t really something I’ve read before. Usually, the characters are either very studious or they try and just aren’t that school smart. Adachi just doesn’t care to go to school. Shimamura is pretty and that’s kinda it. This volume doesn’t go that deep into their personalities.
The art is nice so I’ll give it at least one more volume before throwing in the towel.
